Written in stone

Even voor de duidelijkheid, het avontuur dat Xander aan het leiden is, is nog niet rond. Het is een beetje onlogisch dat we middenin op de pauzeknop moeten duwen, maar het is de enige mogelijkheid als we willen spelen terwijl Xander examens heeft. Dit avontuur gaat 1 of (waarschijnlijk) 2 sessies duren om Xanders examens te overbruggen en we gaan er van uit dat het zich net voor het avontuur dat Xander nu leidt afspeelt. Om niet halverwege ineens met een xp jump te zitten, zullen jullie wel pas de xp krijgen nadat Xanders avontuur rond is.


Ancient legend speaks of a mighty artifact wrought by the emperor himself, that is said to have the power to cheat death. It is only known as the relic of safe haven, and was presumed lost in the vastness of the galaxy.
But recently, a space wolf rune priest by the name of Yorig Omenspeaker beheld the relic in a vision. He divined its location on the planet designated ‘Malice VI’, once the home world of an unknown, long extinct xenos race. Deep within the xenos catacombs, this powerful relic is supposed to rest.
Yorig made planetfall on Malice VI, accompanied by a squad of grey hunters and the wolf priest Vörgjak Stormsinger. They warned their transport ship they would lose communications as soon as they entered the crypts, but they would report back in 2 days.
This was 5 days ago, and they haven’t been heard from since.
No one knows what happened to them, and there are no trained soldiers left on site to go find out. We can only assume the xenos aren’t as extinct as we believed. As they are specifically trained to deal with xenos in their own environment, we send the deathwatch to act as a rescue and retrieval unit.

Primary objective: Retrieve the relic of safe haven.
Primary objective: Learn what happened to the space wolves, bring them back alive if possible.
Requisition: 35

Has there been a planatary scan with any Xeno (known or unknown) / other sightings?
Are there any outposts on Malice VI?
Are there even any records availble concerning Malice VI?

Planetray scans returned no signs of resources or intelligent beings. It seems the ancient xenos stripped it of anything useful and then moved on, much like our mechanicum would do. The surface is completely blasted by an earlier exterminatus bombing, conducted to make sure there would really be no trace of xenos lifeforms left. As far as we know, Malice VI is a useless rock devoid of all life. The planet has no strategic value and it was pretty much ignored by the imperium up until now.
While the virus bombing of the exterminatus would have eradicated all life forms in it, much of the ancient ruins remain intact, and especially the catacombs under them. It is in those the space wolves have ventured to find the relic.

Is there a possibility to determine the last known position of Yorig Omenspeaker's squad inside the catacombs?
Also, is it authorized for us to get medical assistance on this mission as our apothecary is unavailble due to circumstances.

The catacoms are too deep underground to allow any communication, let alone positioning. This is why they survived the exterminatus bombing in the first place, and why we consider xenos surviving inside a real possibilty.
Unfortunately we cannot provide you with medical supplies or assistance. You are acting as a closest qualified response unit and we cannot delay for days just waiting for medikits to arrive on site.
